The Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team will continue prescribed fire operations for the next several weeks, weather and conditions permitting.

California State Parks will conduct prescribed fire operations in Sugar Pine Point State Park, between General Creek Campground and Tahoma beginning on May 8. The U.S. Forest Service will conduct operations this week on Highway 89 (Luther Pass) near Big Meadow. 

Smoke may be present. A map with project locations and details is available online. To receive prescribed fire notifications, send an email to pa_ltbmu@fs.fed.us. 

Whenever weather and conditions allow, prescribed fire operations are conducted by the TFFT to reduce overgrown vegetation, which decreases the severity of future wildland fires and helps protect communities.
